Women claims John Franco threw an autographed baseball towards her in effort to intimidate

Here's the oddest story you'll read today:

Mets legend John Franco and his wife, Rose, assaulted and threatened a Westchester woman who handled their 2012 estate sale on Staten Island, a bombshell lawsuit alleges.

Wendy King claims in court papers that the four-time All-Star and former team captain shoved her, “glared at her in a menacing manner” and kept her trapped for 15 minutes as his wife screamed at her and accused her of theft.

“John Franco acted like a bully intending to intimidate a woman,” King, 61, says in her Manhattan Supreme Court suit.

At one point, Franco “took an autographed baseball and threw it at a wall in order to intimidate [King] and make her fear even more for her safety,” she alleges in court documents.

Now anyone who saw JF pitch to a 6 ERA over his last to major league seasons knows - no way he hit that wall.
